  • blocking, latching, locking or engaging these terms may be used synonymously. That is to say that measures relating to blocking or latching may also be applied to locking or engaging, and vice versa. That is to say that the measures portrayed in detail are interchangeable with each other.
  • a hook which mechanically cooperates with a projection can be substituted by other measures, such as by a hook or a projection in cooperation with an optionally undercut recess or a through-recess; further, two cooperating hooks, two cooperating shoulders, a hook which cooperates with a shoulder and vice versa or mixed forms thereof can be used.
  • the exploded view of Fig. 1 depicts the first embodiment of the connector assembly 12 according to the invention and of the electrical plug-in connector 10 according to the invention.
  • the plug-in connector 10 differs from the connector assembly 12 in that it additionally has at least one electrical contact means 50, optionally at least one electric line 60 or one electric cable 60 and optionally a choke means 70.
  • the electrical contact means 50 in the present case is formed as a preferably stamped socket contact 50 which is bent into shape, but may also be a male or pin contact, which does not necessarily have to be formed as a stamped part.
  • the choke means 70 is formed here as a ferrite 70; another choke means 70, such as a diode, another electromagnetic or electrical choke, can of course be used instead of the ferrite 70.
  • all the above-named components 100, 200, 300, 400 are fastened directly or indirectly on/in the contact casing 100 thereof, with preferably two electrical contact means 50 being held within the contact casing 100 by means of the contact securing means 200, which securing means, preferably together with the strain-relief cover 300, provides a strain relief for preferably two electric lines 60 of the plug-in connector 10.
  • the plug-in-connector securing means 400 serves primarily for securing the plug-in connector 10 in an electrical mating connector 80 (see Fig. 3 , which shows an electrical plug-in connection 1 according to the invention), which may be formed e.g. as a casing connection 80, a mating connector 80, a header 80 or an interface 80.
  • the plug-in-connector securing means 400 is located in a final latching position E on the plug-in connector 10 or on the contact casing 100 thereof (see Fig. 3 ), in which position it blocks the plug-in connector 10 or the contact casing 100 thereof in a mating-connector casing 800 of the mating connector 80.

Following on from this, first the final latching position E of the plug-in-connector securing means 400 can be set up in the plug-in connection 1. See Figs. 4 to 8 on this point and also below. In this case, the contact casing 100 produces an electrically conductive connection between the electrical contact means 50 which are received in the casing body 154 in receptacles 140 provided therein and electrical contact means 90, formed in particular as pin contacts 90, of the mating connector 80.

  • the guide tabs 152 have in each case a recess 153 in which a section of the strain-relief cover 300 which corresponds thereto can engage, so that the latter is held in one or two lateral directions on the plug-in connector 10, for which the strain-relief cover 300 in the assembled state on the plug-in connector 10 has a wall or a projection adjacent to the respective recess 153.

  • a projection 222 for example also an optionally resilient tab may be used; this can also be applied to the inner stop 322 or projection 322 of the strain-relief cover 300. This secures the ferrite 70 in at least two directions, and depending on a strength of this clamping the ferrite 70 is also secured in the other two dimensions.
  • the locking means 210 of the contact securing means 200 has, according to a number of the electrical contact means 50, preferably just the same number of locking projections 212.

  • a short longitudinal section of a line 60 can be received and clamped between two prongs 231, i.e. in a recess 233.
  • the respective line 60 is pressed into the recess 233 in question, which is done e.g. by means of corresponding sections of the strain-relief cover 300. This may however also be done by latching of the strain-relief means 230 and a corresponding stop (not shown in the drawings).

  • a counter-surface for the ferrite 70 is formed by one or a plurality of the contact means 50, which have preferably a step section 510 therefor (see Figs. 4 , 5 , 7 .) This can also be realised as a tab or projection on the appropriate contact means 50.
  • the interaction of the plug-in-connector securing means 400 with the contact securing means 200 and the strain-relief cover 300 has already been explained above, and therefore will not be dealt with further at this point.
  • the pre-latching position V and the final latching position E of the plug-in-connector securing means 400 on the electrical plug-in connector 10 will be gone into in greater detail with reference to Figs. 7 and 8 .
  • the plug-in-connector securing means 400 may in that case only be brought into its final latching position E once the plug-in connector 10 is latched with its latch tabs 155 in the electrical mating connector 80.
  • plug-in-connector securing means 400 If the plug-in-connector securing means 400 is in its final latching position E, then tabs 415 of the plug-in-connector securing means 400 block the latch tabs 155 of the contact casing 100 in the mating connector 80.
  • the plug-in connector 10 can only be withdrawn from the mating connector 80 again once the plug-in-connector securing means 400 is again brought into its the prelatching position V.
  • the plug-in-connector securing means 400 is latched on the plug-in connector 10 and the contact casing 100 in its two directions of movement - i.e. in and counter to the direction of insertion S of the plug-in connector 10.
  • the plug-in-connector securing means 400 has at least one latch means 420, preferably formed as a latch tab 420, by means of which on one hand latching in the pre-latching position V in both directions of movement on the plug-in connector 10, and on the other hand latching with a latch means 820 preferably formed as a latch projection 820 in the mating connector 80 counter to the direction of insertion S of the plug-in-connector securing means 400 (final latching position E), can be realised.
  • the plug-in-connector securing means 400 has two such latch means 420 or latch tabs 420, only one being referred to below.
  • the latch tab 420 has, for latching with the contact casing 100, a first latch surface 421 which in the pre-latching position V in the direction of insertion S of the plug-in connector 10 prevents movement of the plug-in-connector securing means 400 in the direction of the final latching position E.
  • a projection is formed on the preferably elongate latch tab 420 on one of its two-dimensional long sides which provides the first latch surface 421.
  • the first latch surface 421 lies against a first inner bearing region 121 of the contact casing 100 (see Fig.
  • the latch tab 420 lies with a second latch surface 423 provided on its longitudinal end section against a second inner bearing region 123 of the contact casing 100 (see Fig. 7 ).
  • the two bearing regions 121, 123 in this case are at least partially remote from each other.
  • the latch tab 420 has at its free end a preferably oblique actuating surface 422 which upon advancing of the plug-in connector 10 into the electrical mating connector 80 displaces the latch tab 420 to one side.
  • the mating connector 80 has an actuating edge 822 or actuating surface 822 on which the actuating surface 422 of the latch tab 420 slides away upon movement of the plug-in connector 10 in the direction of insertion S and thus displaces the latch tab 420.
  • the mating connector 80 has a latch surface 822 on which the second latch surface 423 of the latch tab 420 latches in the final latching position E of the plug-in-connector securing means 400, with the latch tab 420 preferably moving back into its starting position.
  • the first latch surface 421 disengages from the first bearing region 121 of the contact casing 100.
  • the projection on which the first latch surface 421 is provided then moves through a gap 125 in the contact casing 100, which means that this latching is no longer effective and the final latching position E of the plug-in-connector securing means 400 can be realised.
  • the projection on which the first latch surface 421 is provided does not hinder the movement-back thereof; that is to say that a corresponding gap is provided in the contact casing 100.
  • the second inner bearing region 123 of the contact casing 100 is provided on a means which is diamond-shaped in the longitudinal direction L of the plug-in connector 10.
  • actuating surface 122 for setting up the pre-latching position V of the plug-in-connector securing means 400 is provided, the latch tab 123 with the actuating surface 422 provided on its longitudinal end sliding away thereon and the pre-latching position V of the plug-in-connector securing means 400 on the plug-in connector 10 being able to be realised.
  • This likewise lateral movement-away of the latch tab 420 takes place analogously to above embodiments.
